DeWitt succeeds original star Eve Plumb, who played her final performance May 29 at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre at Sofia's.

DeWitt has starred in numerous theatrical productions, including the Canadian premieres of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize-winning play Dinner With Friends and Alfred Uhry's Tony Award-winning play The Last Night of Ballyhoo.

Written by Ken Davenport and Sarah Saltzberg, Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage! is based on Abigail Grotke's popular book of the same name. "Miss Abigail is the most sought-after relationship expert to the stars — think Dr. Ruth meets Emily Post — and in Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage!, she and her sexy sidekick Paco (played by Mauricio Perez) travel the globe teaching her outrageously funny 'how-tos' on dating, mating and marriage," according to press notes.

Davenport also directs. The production features scenic design by Hilary Noxon, costume design by Abbi Stern and lighting design by Graham Kindred.
